As part of the Delivering for America 10-year plan, the U.S. Postal Service is making significant investments in Regional Processing and Distribution Centers (RP&DCs) to modernize its network. The goal of this initiative is to standardize and modernize mail and package processing and improve service reliability and cost efficiency across the nation. The Postal Service opened one RP&DC in calendar year 2023 and is projecting to open about 60 through calendar year 2028. With the implementation of these new facilities nationwide, it will be important for the Postal Service to have a standardized process to relocate mail processing equipment timely and verify accurate accountability of its assets.
